HTTP: Internet Explorer Overlarge JPEG (Width)
This signature detects JPEG files wider than the maximum limit allowed by Microsoft's Internet Explorer. This limit affects IE 6 and below. Attempting to view JPEG files exceeding this limit crashes Internet Explorer and could allow an attacker to run arbitrary code on the viewing computer.
Extended Description
Attackers may exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user who views the JPEG.
